Top RailsWest Railroad Museum Hotel Reviews

BridgePointe Inn & Suites

8/10 Good

"Staff very nice breakfast nice and hot !"

Countryside Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"There was only one thing that I would say wasn't "the best" part of my stay. The woman who checked me in that night talked WAY too fast when giving her spiel. Maybe she's said this spiel so many times that now she's made it a game for herself to see how fast she can say it, but that doesn't help us as clients. Outside of the individual who checked me in, there aren't enough good things I can say about Countryside. I live in Omaha, so I'm familiar with the entire area, but if I was in from out of town for business or what have you, I would most definitely recommend staying at Countryside. Should I ever need to do another "staycation", I will be back."

Comfort Suites Omaha East-Council Bluffs

10/10 Excellent

"Nice stay and good value"

Western Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Great value. Location"

Best Western Crossroads Of The Bluffs

8/10 Good

"Needs an update. The vinyl floors were puffy and coming off the floor. Quiet and comfy, though."

Red Roof Inn & Suites Omaha - Council Bluffs

10/10 Excellent

"Worth the stay"

My Place Hotel - Council Bluffs/Omaha East, IA

8/10 Good

"Check-in went smooth and room was quite clean. Location was good. Our only complaint really was some noise issues. The refrigerator in our room was quite loud with a significant rattle as it cycled on and off. There was also a lot of noise coming from the hallway as well as the parking lot outside until close to midnight, which was a little disappointing as we were trying to sleep so we could get up early for an event the next day. If there weren’t other nearby options, we would likely stay here again if we were back in the area. However, considering there are so many other options nearby, we’d probably give something else to try next time."

Magnolia Hotel Omaha

10/10 Excellent

"This was our 3rd stay at Magnolia. Izzy at the check in desk was incredibly helpful to switch our King room to 2 queens to better accommodate our family. Danielle was also friendly at check out."

Quality Inn Council Bluffs I-80

8/10 Good

"Great stay for the price!! Finally a television with regular channels that was clear and easy to watch what we looked for!!! Clean and comfortable."
